My goal for 2025 is to focus on stories I enjoy writing, to help my creativity recover from years spent spiraling into burnout. One of the things I used to do to keep my creative spark fed was to respect the ideas. Not just writing them down, but also developing them as the ideas bud…Continue reading What I’m working on now

Last year after finishing the final two books in my Celia Roman pen name’s main series, I had a tough decision to make: which direction should my writing take?

Thank Anne McCaffrey
For the past few years, and especially for the past two, I’ve been contemplating the direction I want to take with my writing. When I started writing my first (finished) novel, The Prophecy, back in 2013, I was writing for the love of it. Words spewed out of me like lava from an erupting volcano.…Continue reading Thank Anne McCaffrey
Book Cover Makeover
I decided to rebrand The Pruxnae Series ahead of the release of Sweet Surrender, the second novel in the main story line, either later this year or in early 2024. The rebrand entails everything from revisiting the blurbs to deciding what to do with the audiobooks to possibly re-editing the prequel novella, Thief of Hearts.…Continue reading Book Cover Makeover
Publishers Dumbing Down SciFi Romance? Say It Ain’t So!
One of the blogs I follow is The Galaxy Express, managed by awesome SciFi Romance enthusiast and author Heather Massey. Yesterday, she posted a long screed against an unnamed publisher. The problem? The publisher asked one of its authors, a friend of Heather’s, to expunge thousands of words of “worldbuilding, science fictional concepts, essential details related to the…Continue reading Publishers Dumbing Down SciFi Romance?
